Karl von Kraatz-Koschlau

Alexander Karl von Kraatz-Koschlau (24 June 1867 – 18 May 1900) was a German geologist.

Karl von Kraatz-Koschlau was born in Reichenbach near Stettin. He studied philosophy and sciences in Freiburg and Munich, where he obtained his doctorate with a dissertation on tartaric acid and its salts (1892). Afterwards he was assigned to the mineralogical institute in Munich. One of his scientific excursions during this time period involved geological research of the Serra de Monchique in the Algarve.

In 1897 he received his habilitation in mineralogy from the University of Halle with a thesis on barite deposits in the Odenwald. The same year he became a professor at the Technical University of Karlsruhe. In 1900, while performing geological research in Brazil, he fell victim to yellow fever, dying in the state of Pará at the age of 32.[1][2]

gollark: That's probably one of them. I'm writing.
gollark: > If you oppose compromises to privacy on the grounds that you could do something that is misidentified as a crime, being more transparent does helpI mean, sure. But I worry about lacking privacy for reasons other than "maybe the government will use partial data or something and accidentally think I'm doing crimes".
gollark: Also, you can probably just treat privacy as a "terminal goal" like all the other weird drives us foolish humans have, but I think there are good reasons for it based on other stuff.
gollark: Are you missing some negatives or something? I'm failing to parse that.
gollark: I don't understand what you're saying.
